Bandit is effective and entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 25, 2024

With an agile narrative, Bandit is a fresh option for lovers of heist, action, and comedy films. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 19, 2024

Bandit is a passable entertainment, but it falls short of being remarkable. It's an average film that is likely to be forgettable once it ends.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 1, 2023

While perhaps not a classic of the heist genre, Bandit is a fun rollercoaster that comfortably holds its own

| Apr 4, 2023

One of those true-crime films where you come away with the impression that the film-makers have spent a bit too long hanging out with their subject, sitting in smoky bars listening to tall tales about the good ol’ bad days.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 28, 2023

Bandit works well as a piece of lightweight entertainment that has clearly taken quite a bit of artistic license with the real-life events upon which it is based.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 28, 2022

An entertaining but limited thriller.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 17, 2022

The movie's tone is entirely pleasant and agreeable. ... A very relaxed and often hilarious look at life as a bank robber.

Duhamel is perfect as Galvan, pouring on the charm and smooth talk as needed, whether it’s talking his way into a homeless shelter after hours or convincing the crime boss to take a chance on him. It’s the sort of role the actor seems born to play.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 26, 2022

Director Allan Ungar’s Bandit entertains because of genre alone, but the ambiguous messaging leaves much to be desired.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 25, 2022

The problem with telling a true story like this is that the ending is written in stone and there’s nothing the screenplay can do about it. The term “anticlimax” comes to mind.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 25, 2022

Famed bank robbers are a genre onto themselves, but Allan Ungar’s latest is a breezy good time with enough clever turns, an engaged supporting cast and a charming, easygoing performance by Josh Duhamel.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 24, 2022

Bandit is anchored by a charismatic performance from Josh Duhamel as Gilbert Galvan Junior. With solid support from Mel Gibson as a partner in crime, Bandit only suffers from an excess amount of plot and indulgent running time.

| Original Score: 3.5 | Sep 23, 2022

Toronto director Allan Ungar keeps the pace fast and light; despite a two-hour running time, the film never lags.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2022

Duhamel is charming, pulling off face-paced robberies in the winning heist film "Bandit."

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 23, 2022

Duhamel gives the antihero an offbeat charm, although the script struggles to sustain any meaningful suspense while juggling comedy and drama.

| Sep 23, 2022

A lighthearted if somewhat pedestrian caper movie that, anchored in Duhamel’s animated performance, is likable enough but saunters more often than it sprints.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 23, 2022

Propelled by a great performance by Duhamel, Bandit is an entertaining film worth stealing some time for.

| Sep 23, 2022

While treading in familiar "cat and mouse" territory, this is still a true crime thriller that's actually thrilling. Bandit is over two hours long, but the balance between the action and the story is so solid, it's easy to get lost in what's happening.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 22, 2022

Duhamel is terrific in this solid crime caper.
